D. Scorpioides


Question
Hell, I purchased a D. scorpioides from you back a few months ago along with others.  The D. filiformis and spatulae are doing well, but the scorpioides keeps producing leaves that turn brown immediately.  All the olderleaves turned brown and died off awhile ago.  Any advice?

Thank you  

Answer
Hi Michael,

As Drosera scorpiodes ages it will form a long brown stem that can get fairly tall.  It will be clothed with a skirt of dead leaves.  What you're describing sounds fairly normal.  We have several older plants in the greenhouse that are several inches tall that look like this.  In order to get a better idea if something more is happening I'll need a photo.

Good Growing!
